Helloooo darlings! It's your favourite pink-tutu-wearing, glitter-loving, travel-obsessed drag queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, and boy oh boy, have I got a story for you! Today's post is all about my whirlwind adventure in Watford, a delightful little town in the heart of the Home Counties.
Before we dive into the glitter, let me tell you how I even got there. Now, this gal is a fan of travel in all its forms, but my absolute favourites are the train and, in a perfect world, a horse drawn carriage. Picture this: a big, pink, flowing tutu swishing behind me as I sit on a velvety, red-plush train seat, chugging through the countryside. Heaven! Luckily for me, Watford is just a hop, skip, and a jump away from London on a lovely old-fashioned steam train. It was a pure delight!
Now, I arrived in Watford, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready for my gig at the local fair. The weather was gloriously sunny, and the air buzzed with excited chatter. Kids were running around, families were enjoying the games and stalls, and I could already hear the strains of music in the distance. As I was doing my last-minute primping in the changing room, my eye caught the glistening sparkle of a brand new pink tutu, courtesy of the lovely owner of the fair.
It was the most exquisite pink! It had tiny little sequined butterflies on it and a glittery, shimmering sash tied around my waist. Naturally, I knew this would be my stage outfit! I felt a bit like Cinderella in a magical ballroom, all sparkly and ready to go.
After I finished putting my final touches together - blush, lashes, and a dramatic lip – I stepped out onto the stage. Oh, the audience was just fabulous! I felt such a strong connection with them. Maybe it was the tutu, or maybe it was my high-energy performance, but I truly believe I brought a touch of magic to Watford that day.
We sang, we danced, and we laughed. The children were absolutely captivated by my glitter, and the adults even took part in the fun. One lovely lady, dressed in her best pink blouse, even told me her little girl had decided to wear a pink tutu to ballet class today, all thanks to seeing me perform! It's these little moments that really make my day! 💖
Speaking of ballet, the highlight of my Watford trip had to be a visit to the Watford Palace Theatre, where they were holding a production of "Giselle," one of my all-time favourite ballets! I love ballet, its beauty and grace, and, naturally, its dazzling tutus! My heart just flutters with excitement whenever I hear the music. Even though I was busy performing at the fair, I managed to squeeze in a matinee performance, which was pure magic!
To make my trip extra special, I managed to snag tickets to a ballet class that same evening. It was held in a lovely little studio just a few blocks from my hotel. You know, when I say I love tutus, I mean it! There's just something about them that makes you feel feminine, confident, and full of joy. As I warmed up my muscles and felt the familiar silk of my tutu against my skin, I felt so connected to my inner diva. I just had to twirl, and twirl, and twirl!
As much as I loved my little ballet adventure, I also had to indulge my passion for shopping! After the ballet class, I set out to explore the town, stopping at all the adorable little boutiques along the way. Watford is truly a treasure trove of lovely vintage clothing, especially for someone who loves pink and enjoys finding the perfect, one-of-a-kind tutu. My finds that day included a delightful pink vintage tea dress that looked absolutely perfect with my favourite sparkly tutu. You’ll have to see a picture on my Instagram!
All in all, my time in Watford was just delightful! I truly love discovering hidden gems like Watford. It reminded me why I love doing what I do and sharing my love of pink, sparkles, and, of course, tutus!
